Abstract

The analysis of Levi’s poetry is necessary to shed light on the originality of some communication techniques adopted by the author and even more so because their composition contributes to diachronically maintaining the virtues of Levi as a prose writer. Often left on the sidelines of literary work and criticism, also due to the author’s opinion, Levi’s poems are instead a privileged site where models and themes that the writer addresses in prose can be retrieved with deeply different approaches.
